  • Fake News: NO Priest Arrested After Being Caught With 10kg Of Cocaine

    Fact Check

    Was 47-year old priest Jefferson Alvin from Belmont, California arrested with 10kg of cocaine and did he think it was just flour for hosts? If you thought that was true: think again.

It opened: Colorado continues to blaze major trails when it comes to marijuana.The…

Of course not, it is just a slightly altered version of a 2015 hoax that featured a "Tyshaun Granger" as the culprit. The "new" story appeared in…

  • Fake News: McDonald's Did NOT Announce New Spearmint After-Dinner Big Mac

    Fact Check

    Did McDonald's announce a new spearmint flavored after-dinner Big Mac hamburger? And did it have a disgusting greenish tint?

  • Fake News: Man NOT Kicked Out Of McDonalds For Putting His D*ck In A Burger

    Fact Check

    No, there was no man in Spain who put his male appendage in a hamburger to protest the lack of "real meat".
